GeekDad Puzzle of the Week: Waffle Cuts

This morning as I was making both Max and Nora breakfast, I noticed that their meals while rather similar in content and form, were quite different in their divisibility. Max's French Toast (or "pain perdu," as he prefers to call it) can be cut an infinite number of ways, as I could vary the cuts both in width/height, as well as angle. Nora's waffle, with its rigid lines at right angles, can only be cut a finite number of different ways. So this week's GeekDad Puzzle of the Week came to me in a flash: just how many different ways could Nora's waffle be cut?
